Okay, not what you thought huh?? I guess you could call these two part of our family. Both of them have been sitting in the dining area over the holidays. "Striped Rabbit" is very well dressed, at least compared to his predecessors. Perhaps that's why he got chosen for the ride.
This metal bird is one of my very, very favorite companions. A friend and I once asked each other 'if you could only take one thing from your house, what would it be?' I immediately, without even thinking, said 'my metal bird'. I know that must seem strange but looking at him calms me and he has attitude. One needs a little bit of attitude to get by in this world.
I have heard rumors that there are some very jealous rabbits out there. This one may have to relinquish his seat once in awhile so others might 'fly'! "Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere." - Carl Sagan
"Where did you come from and what are you doing here?" That's what I asked the Most Unlikely visitor to our dining room. There she sat, big as life, atop the resident metal bird.
"I am going to fly on this big bird and he's going to take me way up in the air." She sounded awfully confident. Unfortunately I had to 'burst her bubble' telling her that her dream was 'most' unlikely considering this bird can't fly -- it is metal and really and truly has no wings except these etched in metal.
She seemed to take it pretty well. I believe these "unlikely's" are used to hearing why they can't do something. Soon enough she perked up and asked me "do you have a canary or a parakeet handy?" "The moment when you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever being able to do it." - Peter Pan
